Hello experts (cc'd to freebsd-hardware where it is also relevant) I have an Abit PX5 (440TX) motherboard. I have been advised that, as a win98 machine at least, adding more RAM than 64MB will see a performance hit in the order of 10% as the chipset cannot cache more than 64MB. The cpu is an Intel P166MMX The board can take up to 256MB My questions: Will I see this performance hit in FreeBSD? i.e. is this issue solely chipset specific? Does anyone else here run more than 64MB on a 440tx chipset? Thanks -- John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
